In this struggle, they do not give a thought to their own life. JyotiRao and SavitriBai are two souls in this same lineage who sacrificed their own personal happiness for their social cause. •Savitribai had done social work during plague epidemic in 1897 . She died while serving the Plague paitents on 10th March 1897 Go, Get Education Be self-reliant, be industrious Work—gather wisdom and riches, All gets lost without knowledge We become animal without wisdom, Sit idle no more, go, get education End misery of the oppressed and forsaken, You´ve got a golden chance to learn So learn and break the chains of caste. Throw away the Brahman’s scriptures fast. Poem by Savitribai Phule .

E-mail: [email protected], www.csss-isla.com Page | 1 E-Digest - Ambedkar’s Appropriation by Hindutva Ideology Preface Many a debates are raging in various circles related to Ambedkar’s ideology. On one hand the RSS combine has been very active to prove that RSS ideology is close to Ambedkar’s ideology. In this direction RSS mouth pieces Organizer (English) and Panchjanya (Hindi) brought out special supplements on the occasion of anniversary of Ambedkar, praising him. This is very surprising as RSS is for Hindu nation while Ambedkar has pointed out that Hindu Raj will be the biggest calamity for dalits. The second debate is about Ambedkar-Gandhi. This came to forefront with Arundhati Roy’s introduction to Ambedkar’s ‘Annihilation of Caste’ published by Navayana. In her introduction ‘Doctor and the Saint’ Roy is critical of Gandhi’s various ideas. This digest brings together some of the essays and articles by various scholars-activists on the theme. Hope this will help us clarify the underlying issues.

AEGAEUM JOURNAL ISSN NO: 0776-3808 Savitribai Phule: Empowers today’s women Dr. BeenaIndrani Former Guest Faculty, Department of Education, University of Allahabad, Prayagraj, U.P. (India) Email Id: [email protected] ABSTRACT SavitribaiPhule may not be as famous as Mahatma Gandhi or Tagore or Vivekanand. But her impact on the liberation of the Indian woman has been no less significant. One of the earliest crusaders of education for girls, and dignity for the most vulnerable sections of society- dalit, women and widows. She broke all the traditional shackles and stereotypes of 19 th century India to boost a new age of thinking in British colonised India. She can be legitimately called as the mother of Indian Feminism. She was the first female teacher of the first women's school in India. She is India's first modern feminist and well known social reformer who along with her husband JyotiraoPhule. Both had played a vital role in raising the human rights in India during the British Rule. At a time, when India was plagued with women’s outraged modesty. She acted as a Messiah for all those who were living a life of slavery. During a time when women were mere objects, she ignited a spark that led to equality in education which was impossible before. SavitribaiPhule is a name that everyone needs to know and understand their thoughts today. Her ideas are relevant and useful even today, despite the British era. Here in this paper, an attempt has been made to explain why she is called the mother of modern girls' education, how her thoughts can play their role in the women empowerment? How she is an educational pragmatist? and in the end it is told how her initiatives have influenced the modern education system even today.

Savitribai Phule
Stories of Courage #1: Savitribai Phule Savitribai Phule (3 January 1831 – 10 March 1897) was an educationalist, feminist icon, poet, and anti-caste social reformer from what is today the Satara District in Maharashtra, India. She, like her husband, Jotirao Phule belonged to the Mali community, which is today considered to be an Other Backward Caste (OBC). Educated by her husband, against the wishes of their community in specific and society in general, Savitribai Phule went on to complete teacher training courses and is considered to be the first woman teacher in India. The couple set up several schools for girls and for students from the lower castes. Savitribai Phule’s actions invited the ire of conservative upper caste and lower caste members of society alike. As a result, she is said to have carried an extra sari on her way to teach school to change into after being attacked with cow dung by detractors. Savitribai Phule toiled tirelessly to spread education, which she believed would help eradicate regressive practices such as child marriage, sati, and untouchability. 2 Stories of Courage #2: Jotirao Phule Jotirao Phule (11 April 1827 – 28 November 1890) was a radical critical thinker and anti-caste, pro-secular education social reformer. He was from the Satara District in Maharashtra, India and belonged to the Mali community, which is today an Other Backward Caste (OBC). He believed that secular education would be the means by which the lower castes could liberate themselves from Brahmanical hegemony and hypocrisy. Jotirao Phule was married to Savitribai Phule, and along with her set up schools for girls and for students from the lower castes.

Idea of Emancipation and Discourse on Caste in Colonial Western India (Maharashtra)
Idea of Emancipation and Discourse on Caste in Colonial Western India (Maharashtra) Santosh Pandhari Suradkar Résumé L’idée d’émancipation et les discours sur les castes dans l’Inde occidentale coloniale (Maharashtra), denière partie partie du XIXème siècle. De vifs débats sur les castes eurent lieu à la fin du 19ème siècle Maharashtra entre les nationalistes, les mouvements des castes inférieures, les missionnaires britanniques, les orientalistes et les idéologues. Aussi, cette période dans le Maharashtra peut être caractérisée comme un âge d’ouverture des masses aux idées de démocratie, de liberté, d’égalité et de fraternité. La caste a toujours été au centre de la politique moderne indienne même si cette structure du pouvoir remonte à l’Inde médiévale. La caste fut exploitée en tant que principe central dans la distribution du pouvoir et des ressources matérielles durant la période coloniale. Mais dans le même temps, le colonialisme créa un espace démocratique et moderne; néanmoins cet espace fut monopolisé par les castes supérieures. La lutte nationaliste contre le pouvoir impérial avait alors pour but d’établir l’hégémonie de classe. Les mouvements des non-brahmanes et des basses castes, actifs pendant la période coloniale, avaient deux objectifs : une plus grande mobilité de caste-classe et l’éradiction du système de caste. Celui-ci joua un rôle important dans la détermination du contenu de la mobilisation politique et l’institutionnalisation de la démocratie moderne. La dynamique de caste et de classe reste la caractéristique de la complexité de la politique indienne. Le système de caste et le patriarcat brahmanique ont toujours travaillé de concert dans le maintien du système de caste et de la distribution inégale des ressources.
